Summary
Canada's Liberal Party, led by incoming Prime Minister Mark Carney, plans to significantly reshape the country’s immigration policies following their 2025 election victory. The new platform focuses on stabilizing immigration levels, citing strain on housing and public services. Permanent immigration will be capped at under 1% of the population annually beyond 2027, and temporary residents will be reduced to below 5% of the population by the end of that year, either by transitioning to permanent status or exiting Canada.

The plan also emphasizes increasing francophone immigration outside Quebec to 12% by 2029, supporting French-speaking communities nationwide. To boost the economy, the Liberals aim to modernize the Global Skills Strategy, enabling faster work permit processing for skilled international workers.

Additional measures include digitizing immigration processes to reduce delays and backlogs, providing legal aid for asylum seekers, enforcing the removal of rejected claims after due process, enhancing border enforcement, tightening visa screening, and cooperating with Quebec on immigration management.

These policy changes mark a major shift in Canada’s immigration landscape under the new Liberal government.
